Run the Race Announced

NASHVILLE, TENN. – August 15, in the year of our Lord
2018 – Heisman Trophy winner, national champion and NFL
veteran, and professional baseball player Tim Tebow can now add
“filmmaker” to his impressive list of accomplishments. Tebow and
his brother Robby are executive producers of the new film RUN
THE RACE, telling the inspiring, fictional story of two high
school athlete brothers who see their relationship tested as
they seek different paths out of their troubled lives.

"RUN THE RACE is about so much more than football. This is a
story about overcoming the hard issues of life, about the power
of sacrifice, the power of family, and the power of
forgiveness,” Tim Tebow said. “I love being a part of a project
like this because it will impact lives, inspire hope, and even
prompt action. When I read the script, I knew this was an
important project to get behind.”

“The script pulled me in right away, and I wanted to bring it to
life cinematically,” Robby Tebow said. “As somebody with
brothers in a big, super-close family that has gone through a
lot together, it resonated with me on a deep level.”

RUN THE RACE marks the Tebow brothers’ first foray into feature
films.
RUN THE RACE stars Mykelti Williamson as the boys’ coach,
Frances Fisher as their surrogate mother, Tanner Stine as Zach
and Evan Hofer as David. Supporting cast includes Kristoffer
Polaha, Mario Van Peebles and Heisman-winner Eddie George, along
with many others. From Reserve Entertainment and 10th Leper
Productions, the film is produced by Darren Moorman, Jake
McEntire and Ken Carpenter; directed by Chris Dowling; and
co-written by McEntire, Dowling, and Jason Baumgardner.

“RUN THE RACE is about two young brothers facing unbelievable
odds with an unbreakable bond,” said creator Jake McEntire, who
co-wrote the script,. “I believe audiences will resonate with
this uplifting story of faith, sacrifice and hope.”

Synopsis
In RUN THE RACE, two desperate brothers sacrifice today for a
better tomorrow.

Reeling from his mother’s death and his father’s abandonment,
Zach, an All-State athlete, finds glory on the football field,
working to earn a college scholarship and the brothers’ ticket
out of town.

When a devastating injury puts Zach—and his dreams—on the
sidelines, David laces up his track cleats to salvage their
future and points Zach toward hope.
RUN THE RACE shows what’s possible when you run to—instead of
from—the love of God.

NFL legend Eddie George appears as a college recruiter. He found
that the movie’s background of athletics created the perfect
context for a story about the brothers’ struggles and
relationship.

“Sports really is a microcosm of how life is,” George said.
“Somebody's going to deal with adversity. Somebody's going to
deal with loss. Somebody's going to deal with pain. Somebody's
going deal with victory and success. I think this film reflects
that.”

"We set out to make a film that engages the YA crowd while
retaining a universal, timeless appeal,”. said director Chris
Dowling. “Young adults crave stories built on authenticity and
we deliver with real characters having real conversations about
love, family and trying to find his or her place in this
sometimes crazy world.”

“Everyone involved with RUN THE RACE can’t wait to get this
feature film in theaters,” said Producer Darren Moorman. “I want
everyone to experience this authentic movie that tackles
relevant themes in an entertaining way, where the romance is
whimsical, the struggles are real, but the story-telling is
fresh and poignant.”

Principal filming on RUN THE RACE was in Birmingham, Alabama. In
addition to Robby and Tim Tebow, executive producers include
Bill Reeves, Erik Weir, Trey Brunson, Joe Kosakowski and Erik
Dellenback.

“RUN THE RACE is in its final stage of post-production,” Reeves
said, “Theatrical distribution and release date will be
announced soon.”
